There's nothing like the joy on a kid's face when he first sees the PlayStation box containing the socks I got him for Christmas.

Hurt Feelings

I was at the customer service desk, returning a pair of jeans that was too tight.

"Was anything wrong with them?" the clerk asked.

"Yes," I said. "They hurt my feelings."

The Graduate

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young college graduate, "And what starting salary are you looking for?" The graduate replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." The interviewer inquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of five weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every two years, say, a red Corvette?" The graduate sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."

Wrong Way

There is a senior citizen driving on the highway. His wife calls him on his cell phone and in a worried voice says, ''Herman, be careful! I just heard on the radio that there is a madman driving the wrong way on Route 280!'' Herman says, ''I know, but there isn't just one, there are hundreds!''

Out of the Mouths of Babes

While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year old daughter with me on my afternoon rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers, and wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her.

A Little Humor

It is said that one day God was walking through the Garden of Eden. After a short while, He came across Adam. Adam was in low spirits this particular day, and God asked him what was wrong. Adam told the Lord that he was lonely.

God responded that He would create Adam a companion. She would walk by his side for all eternity. She would listen to his problems. She would wash his clothes. She would keep his house clean. She would cook his meals. She would do anything to keep him happy. Most importantly, she would never complain or nag him.

Adam was ecstatic. His spirits lifted immediately. The Lord hated to tell him that this creature would come at an expensive price. God finally told Adam that this new creature would cost him an arm and leg.
